Ještěd 2024

A rocket to Mars? We’d rather ride to the rocket – silver, enigmatic and watching over Liberec. In the very heart of the North Bohemian metropolis, the peloton will set off to conquer the most beautiful spots in the Jizera Mountains from the saddle of a road bike. The cycle journey will climax with an iconic climb to the definition of a monument – Ještěd.

FURTHER DETAILS

A proven monument. From Liberec, the peloton takes the direction of Bedřichov and sails into the Jizera Mountains. The grandiose finish provides an unmistakable peak towering high above the surroundings.

Two formats: sportive style and race

Do you want to enjoy closed roads, a varied route full of beautiful places and relax at the refreshment stations? Then we have a sportive style format for you.

Do you like big challenges and want to keep your coffee as a reward after crossing the finish line? Then choose the second format, push as hard as you can and keep the total time to a minimum.

Sportive style and race classification

Participants of race ride for overall and premium/segment standings. The "swing riders" choose to swing because they don't need to chase seconds and prefer the comfort of closed roads. We will of course time them, but will not create a final classification. However, we still offer an element of competitiveness - focus on the segments.

From the area near the border with Austria, we will move in a far northwesterly direction. We will meet in Boží Dar and then we will pass through beautiful places in the Ore Mountains. Mysterious forests, peat bogs, and beautiful roads under the wheels await you.

At the end of the ride, you'll come across a monument in the form of the highest mountain in the entire range. The climb to Klínovec is expected to be the main climbing segment of the day.

If you don't feel up to a full portion of kilometres and vertical metres, you can decide to choose a shorter alternative route after the start.

The monumental experience will end with an unmeasured ride back to Liberec's Dr. Edvard Beneš Square.
